Before the car stopped, Schubert said loudly, "And they are the fattest emperor penguins, each weighing about 40 kilograms!"

"We can't take away seven such big penguins," Dr. Cross couldn't help but remind him.

"I only killed three."

Schubert explained as he pushed the two penguins down, "Three are enough to eat. I will bring the remaining one back. Victor, Yog, please deal with these two penguins quickly."

one time."

"Leave it to us!"

Dr. Yog responded before Wei Ran could speak, pulled one of them to his side and started working.

After just a brief glance, Wei Ran knew what he was doing. He pulled out his hunting knife and started to disembowel the other penguin, cutting open all the steaming internal organs and throwing them to the dogs.

By the time Major Schubert brought back the third penguin, the two of them had already peeled off the thick fat stored in various parts of the body of the first two penguins and threw them into a tin bucket and heated them with the gasoline stove in the tent.

Cut off the thick red meat and throw it into another bucket.

Under the skillful operation of these two people like an assembly line, the three huge penguins provided them with enough meat, and the fat that was removed was also refined into more than half a barrel of grease under Carsten's patient boiling.

After all this busy work, it was almost two o'clock in the night.

"We will set off after daylight"

They each filled their stomachs with half a can and the remaining bread. Schubert threw the freshly brewed coffee and two sugar cubes into his kettle and said, "I will keep vigil tonight."

Before he finished speaking, he had extinguished the gas stove, thrown it into the sled along with the coffee pot, dragged the sled out of the tent, and got into the dog tent next door.

There was someone keeping vigil, so Wei Ran naturally had the least objection. He immediately got into the smelly sleeping bag and fell asleep without even waiting for Dr. Yog to cover the tent door.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Cross and Carsten, who had wanted to say something, looked at each other, but in the end they could only get into their sleeping bags, which were also starting to smell bad, and lay down on the waterproof canvas side by side with Wei Ran and Hanno.

But this time, the five people in the tent only slept for less than an hour before they were woken up one after another by the biting cold wind outside.

"The weather in Antarctica has begun to get worse," Carsten said to himself, "and it will get worse until the short summer comes."

"I don't care what happens in the summer"

Dr. Yog also said to himself, "I just hope there will be good weather during the short daytime, otherwise we will all be trapped and die here."

After a brief exchange, everyone fell into silence again. However, the wind outside the tent became more and more frightening. It seemed that even the tent, which was not that big, and the surrounding sleds that were pressing down on the tent, would be blown away at any time.

However, compared to whether the tent will be blown away, whether it will collapse under the weight of the snow is obviously more worthy of concern.

Because of this, everyone in the tent had to pick up their ski poles from time to time to lift up the round and plump tent to let the snow slide down.

That night, although Major Schubert was nominally on duty, in fact no one fell asleep at all.

But compared to this, when it was close to 11 o'clock in the afternoon and the sky became slightly brighter, the blizzard still did not stop. On the contrary, most of their tents had been buried, so that they had to dig like diggers one by one.

Earthworms usually creep out of the tent, use a snow shovel to dig out the snow around the tent, and strengthen the surrounding wind-shielding walls.

This effort over and over again lasted from two o'clock in the night to two o'clock in the afternoon, and again from two o'clock in the afternoon to two o'clock in the night.

During this period, Dr. Cross and Carsten were also called to the tent next door by Major Schubert to help.

Finally, after another night, when the increasingly short days came, the wind and snow finally stopped.

In the tent that was almost overwhelmed at any time, Wei Yan picked up the kettle that was already boiling on the oil stove and filled the kettles of Hanno and Dr. Yog with boiling water.

While Wei Ran was filling his own kettle, the two of them immediately stuffed the kettle with the lid tightly into their arms, not daring to waste the precious heat.

"The wind and snow have stopped, it seems it's time for us to set off."

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he couldn't help but yawned. They had hardly slept at all in the past two days, or in other words, no one dared to sleep to death, for fear that they would never wake up again after falling asleep.

"Are you still alive?"

Just when Dr. Yoger was about to say something, Major Schubert from next door asked loudly while banging on the tent.

"Alive! We are all alive!" Dr. Yog responded immediately.

"It's time for us to set off!" Major Schubert shouted and reminded, "Hurry up and pack your things!"

"I hope we can have a good sleep when we reach our destination."

After Hanno finished speaking, he couldn't help but yawned, then sat up and got out of the smelly sleeping bag.

After putting on one-piece thermal insulation suits, the three squeezed out of the tent, only to find that the snow outside was almost more than half a meter thick, and more than half of their tent was already buried under the snow.

Not daring to delay at all, everyone immediately dug out the lower part of the tent and the sled cart with snow shovels, packed them in a hurry, and then hitched the sled dogs.

"Follow me, Victor, Hanno, you two are still behind." Before he could finish his words, Schubert had already shouted to the sled dogs and started running.

Watching the sleighs set off again, Wei Ran, who was accustomed to staying at the end, also took out his camera and pressed the shutter again towards the backs of everyone.

Putting away the camera calmly, Wei Ran shook the reins, and the dogs, which had been well fed and prepared, immediately started running wildly, chasing after him along the sled tracks.

This time, Major Schubert's direction was particularly clear, and although the man had not had a good rest in the past two days, the dogs had regained their energy, and the speed of pulling the cart naturally increased a lot.

While driving at high speed, the sky gradually darkened, and Major Schubert also lit a kerosene lamp and hung it on the rear of the car, obviously preparing to take advantage of the rare good weather to cover as much distance as possible.

Lifting the fur coat at his wrist and glancing at the time, Wei Ran couldn't help but frown. Their sled dog had been running continuously for more than three hours.

If there is no load, just one vehicle and one person would be fine, but at this time, the sleds that everyone is responsible for are all overloaded.

If you keep running like this...

Seemingly thinking of the same problem as him, Dr. Yog, who was usually responsible for taking care of the sled dogs, shouted at his sleigh and caught up with Schubert, shouting, "Major, we must stop and let the sled dogs rest.

Otherwise they will be exhausted!"

"We don't have time to rest!"

Schubert slowed down slightly and responded loudly, "Another snowstorm will come soon, and we have to travel a little longer before then!"

"If the sled dogs are exhausted, we will have to pull the sled by ourselves." After Yog finished speaking, he directly shouted to the sled dogs to stop.

Seeing this, Dr. Cross and Carsten also shouted to the sled dogs to stop.

The three of them stopped, and Wei Ran and Hannuo, who were following the team and were responsible for finishing, also had to stop.

"We can't keep running"

While feeding the dogs pieces of penguin meat, Dr. Yog loudly reminded the other people who stopped, "If the sled dogs die, we will all die!"

Before he finished speaking, Major Schubert also shouted at the sleigh and drove back in a circle.

"Bang!"

Without saying a word, Schubert kicked Dr. Yog in the ass. Then he pulled out the 1912 pistol from his waist, pulled the slide and loaded the bullet. He pointed at Dr. Yog who was lying on the ground and said coldly,

"Jog, Mr. Jog Schmeling, you have to be clear about one thing. This team is under my command."

"Major Schubert, please wake up."

Dr. Yog stood up and patted the snow on his butt, "If the sled dog is exhausted, we can't expect you to command the penguin to help us pull the car."

"Take a rest for an hour"

Schubert finally put away his weapons and said indifferently, "In an hour, no matter what the weather is like, we must set off as quickly as possible. This is also related to whether we can survive."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a short pause, he continued, "Hanno, ask Victor to help you set up the radio."

"Okay" Hannuo responded immediately.

While Dr. Yog was carrying a tin bucket full of penguin meat to feed the dogs, Weiran also helped Hanno set up the radio again and started the generator that was still on the sled. Almost back and forth, he was hiding.

Major Schubert, who was far away, also sent the encrypted telegram to Hanno for him to send.

However, it was not until an hour later that the sleigh convoy set off again at the urging of Major Schubert. Hanno, who hurriedly put away the radio system, still did not receive any signal feedback.

It's hard to say whether the one-hour rest that Yog just fought for saved the sled dogs pulling the cart. At least in fact, it was only an hour. The biting cold was blowing again on the vast ice field.

The wind, and the cold snowflakes that were carried by the cold wind and flew again.

But this time, Major Schubert, who was leading the way, did not stop at all. He just ordered the dogs to slow down slightly.

One hour, two hours, three hours, the wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and the speed of the sleigh became slower and slower, but it never stopped from beginning to end.

Glancing at the dogs running slowly in front, Wei Ran, who had not had enough rest or sleep, simply got out of the back of the car, took two quick steps and sat on the sleigh, then shook off his sleeping bag, which was already freezing and almost losing weight.

My conscious legs were put into the smelly sleeping bag, and I took out the stove from my arms and threw it in together.

I don't know how long it took, but Wei Ran fell into a drowsy sleep because his body was getting warmer, and woke up the next moment.

However, in his own consciousness, it only took the blink of an eye, but when he subconsciously looked at the dial of the watch, he found that more than two hours had passed!

What made his heart even more chilling was that at some point, the dozen or so dogs pulling the cart had stopped. Apart from the flying snowflakes, no other sleds or lights could be seen within his field of vision!

Broken! Separated from the convoy!
